us up in Norfolk until Monday. That afternoon we finally got started and flew as far as Floyd Bennett. You many recall that as the field over which we were flying when I broadcasted my little recruiting speech in 1939. As we passed the Lakehurst area we roared over two or three of your rubber elephants, and I wished we could set down on your home field for awhile. Hobbs and I are now separated. After carrier qualification at Norfolk he was sent to San Diego. A cleverly worded telegram to his folks indicated he was leaving immediately for Hawaii. may see him at the Royal Hawaiian hotel next summer. Must shove back to squadron now. Take it easy. Robert, and I"ll see you Sat. night. Yours, Nile
